Gotcha Day, April 7!


Oh Miss Mia! What would we ever do without you? You joined our family 2 years ago and have brought so much joy into our lives. God surely knew what he was doing when he planned this! I think back to that day we received you. What joy & promise we felt. You seemed to know right away, "yeah, this is my mom and dad." And when you met your brothers? Oh my, love at first sight both ways! WE LOVE YOU AND ARE SO BLESSED TO HAVE YOU WITH US! In short, you make us all smile even on the grayest days. For those of you even remotely interested in adopting, I ENCOURAGE YOU... Don't miss this blessing in life.

What a wonderful slideshow, Gretchen.
Mia was the happiest little one in our group -- she knew right away she was in good hands.
You have a beautiful family!
Happy Gotcha Day!
